These are the matchups that will decide Sunday's Super Bowl
The Eagles have the NFL’s top pass defense, led by cornerback Darius Slay and a disruptive front seven that doesn’t give quarterbacks much time to operate. Philadelphia’s defense has allowed just 195 yards per game this postseason.
Kelce will draw most of Philadelphia’s attention, but Mahomes has an uncanny ability of extending plays and finding other pass catchers. Wide receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Kadarius Toney and running back Jerick McKinnon are players to watch in the passing game. Philadelphia is going into the Super Bowl with a single season NFL record 39 rushing touchdowns. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has 15 rushing touchdowns this year , the most by a QB in NFL history.
The Eagles averaged 147 rushing yards per game in the regular season and the team is averaging 208 rushing yards per game during its postseason run, with seven rushing touchdowns. Behind a stout and cohesive offensive line, the Eagles’ offensive identity is to establish the run with its top two running backs and dual-threat QB. Philadelphia’s run game helps set up its passing attack that features wide receivers A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and tight end Dallas Goedert.
The Chiefs had a top 10 run defense during the regular season and haven’t allowed a 100-yard rusher this postseason. Defensive lineman Chris Jones, defensive end Frank Clark and linebacker Nick Bolton are the three players to watch in the Chiefs' front seven.
